Love the worm drive skil saws went through my apprenticeship using them. I currently own 1 Mag 77 skill saw corded and I own a makita 36v rear handle saw. Haven’t used the Mag 77 skil saw in a long time.

Thanks for the breakdown! This was very informative and saves us from having to go buy each of them to try out ourselves! I especially liked the side by side volume test. It would be great to see the speed and cleanliness of the cuts along with it. Thank you!

This is a gr8 video. Very informative. I've learnt a few things.

I’ve got an old DEWALT hypoid. Love it. Used plenty of solid metal worm drives over the years. I love the balance in hand and endless torque. I don’t do much framing anymore but if I did, I’d get one of those CUZ D joints. That thing does everything, and I’d rather spend money on another carpenter doing his thing. Ron Paulk did a review on it, they are amazing.

A few years late lol. But i recently bought the makita 5477 hypoid. Haven’t used it yet, but i love corded tools. Saves batteries, and i typically have a dedicated cut station (usually the car port) that has power anyway

very good informative video. that is good you talked about the inside gears. unlike some people who are just screaming but not giving useful info. thank you

I've been in construction since the mid 70's. In the St. Louis area it seems like sidewinders have always been the most popular by far. I used mostly metal body Rockwell's in the old days and Porter Cable in recent years. Seems regional maybe.

Great video, thank you. One point of confusion for me is brushless. You only mentioned it for a moment at the end but it seems most saws are marketed as either worm drive or brushless. Could you please explain the difference. Thank you

Bought the skill cordless. That is a beast

[rileytaylor]

Those cordless dewalt saws are great! They definitely have the power to but through building materials and keep up with the corded ones.

[SmallWorkshopGuy]

that was a lot of information. Now I have to go to the garage and try to see if I can figure out what I own!

[thehandymancarpenter]

Informative as always. I'd have to disagree about them being designed for lefties and righties though. No product is so widely produced specifically to lefties by comparison, and blade right saw production exceeds blade left saws.
But, thanks for taking a look into the gearing and application of the differences. Anyone who doesn't think cordless is up to par has clearly been set in their ways for a good long while.

So im cutting end grain hardwoods, would a wormdrive or hypoid be best?

[Wagon]

Thank you! Gonna pick up a new Skilsaw SPT77WML-22 tomorrow morning.

Fantastic info. Thank you for sharing.

What a great revelation of the revolutionary circular saws

[mobileempire]

If 20 volt cordless isn't very powerful what volt should we be aiming for?
Thanks

[MegaBzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Is it possible to cut Cumaru wood with circular saw?
Thanks

[GarryVang]

I need to buy skill saw. Do you has available

[karlpoulin]

How would you make a cut length wise, using a worm drive circular saw? let’s say you want to shave 5” of the length of a 4X8 board.
either the motor is on the waste size or you will not be able to reach the saw if you stand on the other side of the board.
Any advise would be appreciated as i am south paw and is considering buying a worm circular saw. Thanks
